From the original poster to the Diablo forum
  • Someone comes around the corner of a building suddenly and you find yourself stabbing for an F5 key that isn't there.
  • You start naming everything you own with prefixes and suffixes (ie., your car is "Rusted Gremlin of Frailty", computer is "Obsolete Compaq of Weakness" =P).
  • After several hours playing your high level mage, you begin to moan and complain about how annoying it is to have to WALK to the mailbox; you'd much rather teleport to it.
  • The DSF or the Lurker Lounge is your homepage. Your internet nickname is based off your Diablo character's name, and not the other way around.
  • Whenever you're in a store, you try to give the salesman $50 just to look at the wares.
  • You start inspecting everyone who walks past, and if they look too healthy, declare them a "cheater".
  • You are caught trying to eat the books in the library.
  • You mix blue food coloring in with your iced teas, much to the puzzlement of all your friends.
  • Whenever a dog walking past stops to bark at you, you cringe and duck for cover.
  • You are arrested for public indecency; the police find you wearing nothing but a bright pink bathrobe. Your protests of, "But I'm legit!" leave them unmoved.
  • Whenever you are in a large crowd of people at a concert or wherever, your mind continually conjures the image of blasting them all in one perfect cast of Chain Lightning.
  • Your friend asks to borrow your walking stick, but you refuse, saying "You don't have enough Magic to use this anyway."
  • When the regional bishop visits your church for an important holiday, you come to the mass armed to the teeth and spoiling for a fight.
  • You are always extremely nervous while buying your meats, and keep trying to get the man behind the counter to chase you towards the subway entrance.
  • You keep shooting black looks at the children going down the street to the local school for the disabled and blind. When asked, your only reply is, "God I hate that peg-legged brat..."
  • Whenever you see a topless woman, you run away, round a corner, and wait for her to follow. You don't even know why you do it.
  • You answer to your Diablo nickname in addition to your real name.
  • Whenever anyone discusses modern mechanized warfare, you jump right in with a plethora of comments, mostly about the advantages of Awesome Plate of Sorcery and Storm Shield.
  • You help a little girl find her lost toy, and then you try to take her necklace. Her father beats you up.
  • (little bit of Hellfire for ya ;-)
  • You find someone selling really overpriced and fancily-named crap, and warn everyone not to buy from him, calling him "Wirt" and "the Evil One."
  • Whenever you tell someone a factual story or a historical tidbit, you always start with, "Take heed and bear witness to the truths that lie herein, for they are the last legacy of the Horadrim... last night while I was driving home the funniest thing happened..."
  • A friend invites you to go on a weekend spelunking trip with him and you turn him down, saying "I haven't learned Mana Shield yet."
  • You think "porn" means taking a screenshot whilst surrounded by witches.
  • You have more screenshot porn than real porn on your system. =P
  • You continually try to repair your own clothes, but are not surprised at all when they are left worse off than before.
  • Whenever someone gets up in your face acting threatening, you remember that you're invulnerable while Flash is being cast.
  • You always try to cast a Town Portal whenever you go downstairs in your house, because "I don't want to get stairtrapped."
  • You get stopped by a cop whose radar tells him you were speeding, but you argue that his scanner can't tell him any useful info and is highly unreliable as well.
  • When asked where you are, you often lie since you think the questioner may be a PK.
  • In snowball fights, when your target is not stunned by your projectiles you complain that they are "abusing the MS bug" You then cover them with band-aides to make them stop.
  • If you see someone cheating on a test, you don't bother to report it because "Blizz won't do anything about it anyway."
  • If your car stalls, you fire off an email to Blizzard complaining that, "my game froze when I cast the Ignition spell while using the Brown Car of the Ages" (which is what I'd call my old chevy under the Diablo system)
  • If you witness a violent crime, you tell the authorities that the perpetrator must have been using Town Kill, since he attacked while not in the dungeon.
  • When you join a group of protesters against nuclear proliferation, your sign says, "Apoc staves that yield 255 megatons aren't legit!!!"
  • When you can't find something, you ask friends to check their inventory and see if they picked it up.
  • When giving news of a death, you try to soften the blow by using the euphamism : "he timed out"
  • You have to stay after school for destroying the science teacher's human skeleton model, and when asked why you did it cry out, "Rest well, Leoric! I'll find your son!"
  • When asked how things have been lately, you respond, "All was peaceful until the dark riders came and destroyed our village."
  • You pay the grocer $5,000 for a gallon of orange juice because "I need one more point of magic to read my history assignment"
  • You return all your Christmas gifts because you are playing purist, and further more, "I don't trust Uncle Steve... I think he duped the white sock of foot-holding he got me, after all there were *two* of them."
  • Instead of holding a garage sale to get rid of unwanted items, you just discard them in the center of town.
  • You complain loudy to anyone who will listen that Fort Knox is obviously duping gold.
  • You think wrestler Mick Foley must have been pk'd at some point. (for the benefit of the unwashed masses who don't know wrestling :p , Foley lost his ear in an in-ring mishap a few years back )
  • You do little karate chops on those road construction warning barrels, expecting them to break open and drop gold.
  • You drink from little plastic kiddie pools so you can see through walls.
  • You tell airport flight controlers that their radar is largely useless, since it can only detect planes on the common dupes list.
  • When asked for your social security number, you complain "Blizzard took it away to screw over D1 players!"
  • your wife tries to give you one more grocery bag to carry into the house, you toss it into the air and say "I can't carry anymore."
  • while toasting at a dinner and you go to raise your glass and sip to someone's health, you mutter "Not enough Mana" when you see nothing in the bottom of the glass.
  • you drop casual mention that you have a Steel Long Staff of the Ages to attractive women, who you keep referring to as 'rogues,' whom you meet in taverns, that other people call 'bars.'
  • you are arrested for walking around carrying a Commodore 64 computer, and nothing else, and all you can tell the judge is that you are a "Beyond Naked Mage."
  • you wear a lampshade on you head at New Year's Eve parties, but insist on calling it the Harlequinn's Crest.
  • you give generously to old homeless men in the street, and confuse them all by saying "Moderation is the key, right Farnham?"
  • you call your son "Albrecht" even though your ancestry is Irish/Chinese.
  • everytime the preacher tells the story of Lazarus being raised from the dead in church, you are heard to mutter "But I killed him last night in Hell diff, what does it take to finally destroy that Vile Betrayer?"
